Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? nt: — I. How INCONSIDERABLE THE PURCHASE. 1. If we had it all, yet the great uncertainty of holding it, or any part of it. 2. The impossibility of using and enjoying it all. 3. If we had it, and could use it all, the improbability of being contented with it. II. How GREAT A PRICE IS PAID FOR IT. 1. The loss is great. 2. Irreparable. 3. The severe reflection men will make upon themselves for their folly. (J. Tillotson, D. D.)
